Cool ride.....

Nice lines and hull wake.

I've built a few Dumas kits...crappy wood and instructions/fittings that look as though they were still from the 50's. As long as you like sanding and can put up with lots of splinters...they eventually do make a decent finished product.....now wheres the vid of the foiler??

Looks a bit high in the water.

Nothing that a few more pounds of lead won't solve, LOL.

Sweet, Danny. There's all kinds of ways to enjoy a day at the lake; scale boats have a grace and beauty that sometimes gets forgotten in the quest for more speed. Takes me back a few years to the days I ran my first model ever, a scale model of the 47 foot Textron Coast Guard boat. Thanks for posting

edit : Why not give some thought to a sub-forum for Scale ? I'll bet that there's lots of us that would love to show off our scale models !

Sweet boat and nice vid Danny! there's a destroyer in the vid. is that a Ticondiroga class? My brother converted one to rc with functional twin props and rudders. It's also a 1/350. I love your Tug bro! Do you also use it as a retriever?
